Indeed, both of these are outstanding. :slow clap:

Thank you all for the warm welcome. He likely retired as an E7, that is the rank of Chief Petty Officer. [/SPOILER]My father-in-law told me the same story about a guy on his boat. I'll have to ask him which boat he was on.Unfortunately things like that do happen. We had a wire separate while I...

I can't quite picture this for myself yet even though I am coming to a crossroad in my life, but I have looked at what it is going to take for me to walk away from everything a bit later down the road. Having a few years worth of savings would allow a nice break, but then what? You would be...

Well sure, there is that. Except you need to picture a drone pilot mooning a video image only he can see while playing with his joystick. On second thought, it might not be the same thing.

Nothing going on that hasn't been reported through the news or I wouldn't be talking about it. We ramped up early to head out last year because of heightened tension in the area between Iran and Israel. Things calmed down when Israel decided that Iran wasn't quite ready to start rolling Nukes...

I used to work on the jets (for some reason they make us stop doing the fun stuff and manage people instead at a certain point), not fly them. Besides I am sure I can give GM a run for his money as far as pasty white guys go...the sun is not my friend. Great question though.

I am humbled, thank you. Greatly appreciated, ty. No issues, I am having a few beers tonight myself since I can. The slur I was calling into issue was the one towards our Asian friends.

Not too much to share. Our squadron was (is) flying missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, outside of that we mainly spent our time measuring our junk against Iran's and escorting UAVs with our F-18s. Pulled into Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, Phuket, Thailand, Manama, Bahrain (my old...

Nice slur, otherwise I am not too sure what the #### you are talking about. Thanks anyways maybe?

Ugg. Out of practice with multi-quote (not that I was a prolific poster previously)... TY Guster and Krista. I was in Dubai Superbowl Weekend so I may have caught a bit of Coshole while scanning the forum. I will be sure to go back and read through.

Cold, wet, and about 6% (beer isn't exactly considered spirits, but oh well). Happy to be almost home. I am currently in California and won't see the family until next weekend so I am bored out of my skull, but getting closer. Thanks Aaron! Sitting about a month away from retiring from the...

Hello again GMTAN. Just got back from nearly 7 months at sea with no access to the FBG. Good to see this place is still around...feel like I was out there protecting at least one thing worthwhile :) Any major areas to hit up with nearly a years worth of back material to sort through?

For the moment, even get home here and there. Tough schedule just around the corner...it was a run. Here's looking to mid-2013 :banned: .

Glad to see this place didn't fade away due to a lack of my participation. Sorry to see that bad crap still happens.
